About the host

Hosted by JENNIFER

Host profile image
Husband and wife real estate team, loves the community of Delaware, Ohio. Want to share a little glimpse of what the Mid-West is like by opening this beautiful Victorian 2nd story home with other who appreciate great history, wonderful food, and fellowship with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

It is a rapidly growing community, close to Columbus, that has its own treasures to offer. Birth place of one our our Presidents-Rutherford B. Hayes, home of one leg of the triple crown of harness racing-the iconic Little Brown Jug, home of Liza Minnelli's dad, Stage and film director Vincent C. Minelli and much more!

What makes this property unique

Great second floor flat, all newly refurbished right in the heart of downtown. Walk out the front or back door to dining and entertainment. Lots of character, history, fun! Great for couples' romantic getaways, or family vacays! Sleeps 6 comfortably with 1 king, 1 queen, and queen sofa sleeper. Full kitchen, but great restaurants just footsteps away. Perfect for families checking out local colleges, professionals, or for those who might need a Carrie Bradshaw-esque night away for herself or her friends.
